5. The Sandlot (1993)

Here is a real baseball movie. The Sandlot forgets all the tricky love triangles, pressures of getting old and adults in general surrounding baseball and brings the sport right where it belongs — from a kid’s point of view. The Sandlot is so much more about baseball; it’s really about growing up, fitting in and getting through divorce. The Sandlot reminds us that the boys of summer aren’t just the pros.
